I'm just a pile of pain and other fun* symptoms. *Not fun at all.

It's okay! I had my own little spin out earlier. (And ongoing.) I only found out when I realized I hadn't gotten an updated policy booklet for next year in the mail yet, so went to the website and saw my plan wasn't available anymore. Not sure when they were going to tell me.

Oh no!! I'm sorry you're dealing with this, too. 😟

Glad to know! Thank you for the feedback. 💜

Yup, my supplement increased $90/mo for the coming year. And I don’t qualify for this payment anyway.

Related, anyone have a Humana Part D plan and have feedback? They get top ratings on some websites (like Nerdwallet, generally). And, of my choices, they are some of my better options.

It really is. And it's so hard to compare plans/such a gamble to pick one. I'm frustrated and stressed. Everything is expensive. Gah!

Well, my Medicare drug plan won't exist next year so I have to pick a new one. I've stuck with this one for years because they were so good at approving prior authorizations and appeals. I don't know if I'll get that lucky again. Time to stock up on what I can.

Yeah, I had GI issues with Qulipta. It's frustrating when the meds help but come with a side of unwanted awfulness. We have decide how much to tolerate.

Oh no! I've definitely heard that with Vyepti but haven't seen it mentioned quite as much with the monthly injections. (The fatigue, though, that kicked my butt on Qulipta.) I hope it's not the Ajovy and things improve soon. 🤞🏻

I didn't experience brain fog/concentration issues on any of the CGRP mAb injections.

Of the three anti-CGRP injectables, I think I tolerated Ajovy best but it also did the least as I recall. I definitely had slightly different side effects on each one. I hope this one is a good fit for you.

#migrainechat Looking for experiences with Avjoy. I’m a college student & nervous about starting a new med that lasts 1 mo + half life. Wondering about brain fog, memory or concentration issues or if that isn’t a common side effect. I get Botox every 3 months & use nurtec. —-> 1/2

I can't get a read on Mo on Bake Off. He's so low key. But then pulls out his dead parrot story.

Do you ever open an app, scroll a bit, close it, and then immediately open it again because your brain isn't working at all? Me, constantly.

Yeah, I think they are relatively well ventilated compared to other rooms, but it’s just an extra layer of precaution I’d like to be able to take.

This was just a conversation with the scheduler. She’s said it won’t matter, I’ll have to swap out of any mask I wear in of my own.

If they won’t allow an outside, MRI-safe N95, then supply some safe N95s of their own. A surgical mask is not a safe swap.

I’ve had two, maybe three, MRIs with a Readimask since the beginning of the pandemic. I had to fight the last one. I knew this would happen. They want me to switch into one of their baggy surgical masks.

Hospital is refusing to let me wear a Readimask for an upcoming MRI. I’m so tired of fighting this stuff.

It's so good! There's a new season coming really soon.

Yes, I'm able to do quite a few appointments virtually but this is a specialist and requires an exam, unfortunately.

Beth Morton @migrainechat.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I'd read this! (I wasn't sure if I was allowed to like the post.)

Yeah, just another way to discriminate.

As someone with an energy-limiting condition and chronic pain, I'd be a lot more alert if I could sit. They better be ready to approve reasonable accommodations.

I wish doctors still made house calls. My fatigue and pain are so bad and I have no idea how I'm going to get to/through an appointment an hour away tomorrow. An appointment for my pain, and which I have low expectations will even be helpful.
